I suspect it will get worse up here before it gets better. Would not be surprised if it stays closed all year. I am hoping for the border to open in the fall though.... I miss my Sept/Oct trips to Utah!

LOL.... yeah, could be a questionable activity for sure.

My nephew lives in Seward AK and he asked me to meet him in Colorado in early October. He has a hardshell on na Tundra. But It looks like he would have a hard time crossing border driving through Canada. Is there an official Canadian site that updates regulations for such trips through? He has been vaccinated twice.

Maybe the ferry is his only choice.

To the best of my knowledge, you are allowed to drive through, but not to stop for sightseeing or recreation. That's one for the Customs folks to answer.

Agreed, you can drive through. Stopping to play tourist will earn you a fine.

We have booked and paid for passage on the Alaska Marine Highway ferry system from Bellingham, WA to Hains, AK departing on August 7, 2021. We have plans to run our railroad motorcar on the Alaska Railroad again
http://www.mowonline...ule.html#210904
1) The Alaska ferries are running There are no stops at Prince Rupert, BC due to construction and covid
2) The Candian border crossing at Pleasant Camp, BC on Hwy 7 out of Hains, AK is closed to non-essential travel as are all other US/Canada border crossings including the Fraser border crossing on Hwy 2 out of Skagway.
Non-essential travel includes non-business related transit to/from Alaska for vacation and personal visits. It is my understanding that you cannot transit across Canada if you are on non-essential travel.
https://travel.gc.ca...rictions/border
https://thepointsguy...pen-for-travel/
The current closure has been extended month by month and given the rise is cases in Canada again it is likely that the border will remain closed to non-essential traffic for the forseeable future.
Our trip this summer is at risk. If the border does not open up by the end of June we will have to cancel our trip to ensure we get the maximum refund (must cancel no less than 30 days before departure). We are both fully vaccinated now (Pfizer vaccine).

Wow that rail motorcar tour sounds very nice.
Have you thought about taking the Bellingham to Whittier ferry instead
of going to Haines?
You could do that without having to travel through Canada.
The Kennicott makes the trip every other week from Bellingham.
At least that was they did in 2016.
